"Met een knipoognaar tiga, een ex-drummer van ViveLa Fête achter de knoppen en gastoptredens van Anne Clark en Jean-Luc de Meyer heeft het Belgische EBM duo Implant de meest verassende en verscheidene plaat uit zijn cariére afgeleverd. Electric body music, techno en electro wisselen elkaar knap af en het gros van de melodieën zit goed in elkaar" Focus Knack van 24 januari 2007

First written reviews of the new Album "Audio-Blender"

Side-Line september 06
Implant has got the constant need to evolve the music; an Implant fan never knows what the next release will sound like. With their 7th album the Belgian exports shake the blender like they have never done before. « Was it always this way » starts with a dark laid back beat and swells to a crescendo with a seductive synth lead. Anne Clark's apocalyptic lyrics give a cinematic touch to this eclectic opener. The electro clashy « Don't feed the robots » alludes to Kraftwerk, but with Len Lemeire's vocals it gets the
powerful implant it deserves. Strangely enough the next song «The creature» has got the same bassline as the previous track, though thanks to the collaboration with Front 242's singer Jean Luc de Meyer, I get the feeling the two songs are put together so subtly that it almost seems like one long composition that plays like a story. The highlights of the album's first half comes with the fourth and fifth track. "The Stimulator" consists in all the best Tiga ingredients, while the repetitive songstructure of "Fading away" finds its strength in the catchy lyrics "I should have known before I fucked you, girls like you are rock and roll", my favourite on this CD. After a smooth intro, which lasts for only a few moments, you find yourself
plunging into the catacombs of harsh dancefloor industrial with tracks like "You Push Me" (additional vocals by Erica Dunham from Unter Null) or "Murdurous Thoughts". I'd never expected a classic wave ballad like "Your World", but I have to admit the arrangement of piano, guitar, both Len Lemeire and Anne Clark's vocals, and even a child choir is a refreshing, wink at Pink Floyd, surprise. Together with the previous song, "Chanson D'Amour" rows against the stream of electronic restlessness and flirts with Serge Gainsbourg elements. With its Spanish guitars and goa flavoured patches, "Spanish Fury" doesn't sound that furious at all, but "Fuck things up" (vocals by Jennifer Perkin from Ayria) prepares you for the closing EBM tracks "Focus" and "Communication Breakdown". There is no accounting for tastes, but without much ado, this well flavoured cocktail definitely holds some flavours for open music minds. (VMB:8)VMB.

Writen-magazines reviews of the EP 'Fading Away'

industrial bible august 06
Impossible to categorize and yet to be duplicated, Implant return this summer with the Fading Away MCD. This is absolutely brilliant stuff. Waving between trance, IDM, electro, and experimental, Implant’s uniqueness has been their edge for many years. The title track has a flat steady beat, breathy vocals, and unique, tribal breakdowns that are unexpected, yet welcomed. The mix by Zombie Girl adds in some female vocals, while minimizing most of the musical elements of the original. Millimetric give it a slight techno meets EBM twist with their thicker rhythm and denser beat. Featuring Anne Clark on vocals, the Continental Drift mix of Your World is a wonderfully IDM-ish piece where Anne’s sporadically placed vocals are pushed to the forefront. The cascading, softer synths juxtaposed against the dirtier sounding rhythm take this track to another level. Noisuf-X’s remix of this same piece is a noisier and beat heavier rendition of the pervious mix with a lot less emphasis on the vocals. The instrumental piece, No Danger, is an Implant original where they meld a rolling, techno beat together with a hearty EBM rhythm and atomic testing vocal samples. They even manage to introduce a tribal like beat every so often without changing the overall feel of the piece. Cut.Rate.Box’s mix of Murderous Thoughts is a rough EBM piece with a staticy rhythm and clamorous beats. With its squeakier synths, robotic vocals, and ebbing beats, Negative Format’s version has a future-trance™ feel to it. What begins as a slower, instrumental piece, You Push Me erupts into a noisy EBM assault. A brutal, distorted beat is coupled with heavily warped vocals on this experimental noise piece. C-Drone Defect transform this same piece into a lighter, IDM piece with clean vocals, well placed orchestral elements, and a study beat. Even with only a handful of original pieces, it’s still easy to hear the unique Implant sound in each and every track on Fading Away.

Side-Line september 06
Some may be taken aback by the EBM bite of this new Implant disc. While still conveying their taste for eclecticism and whimsy, this is certainly the hardest material out of Implant for quite some time. Additionally, Implant has assembled a rather harsh team of electro remix artists, with an added bonus of guest vocal appearances from not only the returning Anne Clark, but from Zombie Girl, Unter Null, and Leæther Strip as well. A poisoned relationship sets ablaze Len Lemiere's half-spoken seethe in "Fading Away", a discomforting piece whose muffled thumps bring in an underlying trance feeling that nearly eclipses a fuzzy dirge of synth. A similar synth wobbles in arpeggio for the terse "Your World"; a jaded
spoken-word supplied by Anne Clark overlaps its steely snare crack, tense whistling notes, and a distant sheet metal drum roll. Implant's collaboration with Erica Dunham of Unter Null called "You Push Me", is a stunning foray into terror EBM, with her demonic husky growls and turbulent bass and cacophonous clattering snare driving out its foreboding drone intro. As for the remixes, Zombie Girl's mix of "Fading Away" succinctly injects Implant with their creepy motif, with Renée C. Komor's added duet infusing it with macabre cabaret alongside the plucky hop of drum and bluesy electric organ riffs. Noisuf-X ensures a gentle piano patter that it can have a place alongside Clark's cold vocals in their mix of "Your World", but soon a heavy loping beat and fierce snare intercedes its serenity, giving it a powerful stomping punch. Finally, Claus Larsen's distinct bass synth emerges in the Leæther Strip mix of "Was It Always This Way?", with his own vocals added to deliver backing harmony to Anne's spoken word. This EP stands testament that Implant are one of the most flexible acts within their field. Not only do they continue to surprise like a good plot twist, but they excel in whatever new direction they explore. (VM: 8) Vlad M.
